I have been testing a managed application offer that I am helping to author. In the last day it has been behaving strangely, I find that most of the time I can't deploy a new application because it says the resource group it has created does not exist.
What's worse, is that I now have a situation where my subscription where I test deployments has a resource group that can't be deleted. I have already clicked "delete" on the corresponding managed application which manages this resource group some hours ago. When I go to the resource group and click on the "Managed By" link, it gives me a 404 error saying that resource doesn't exist.
This is bad - I have resources deployed in my subscription which I continue to pay for but I can't remove. How can I resolve this?
Hi, Danny
If you open up CloudShell and with PowerShell do: Get-AzResource, does your Resource Group/Managed application appear?
Thanks for following up on this. I tried again to delete the resource groups today and everything worked fine.
I noticed there had been odd problems with managed app deployments last week (saying "resource group doesn't exist" after it has just created it), so I think there might have been temporary issues. My guess is once those issues were resolved, it took some time for all of the cleanup actions to fire, but after that the appropriate permissions were released.
Issue was resolved on its own a couple of days later. I still had an odd resource group that was owned by a non-existent app, but instead of giving me a permissions problem, I was allowed to delete it.
